Hi Karen really enjoyed listening to the Podcast and the background to Goose Island. I started watching the first FB Lives during Lock Down. My Mother had just gone into a Dementia Care Home and I joined FB to keep up to date with photos & activities from the Home. Like other women I was at home with no make up on, hair growing longer & home colouring! Watching you & Georgia was an escape into the fashion world & your personal stories of love, loss & endeavour. Thank you.
PS Looking forward to the book & still watching Goose Island Lives!
Oh Karen I just watched your PP podcast. Thankyou for sharing and bring so open . I want to wrap my arms around you and hug you , after all you have been through. What doesn’t kill us, they say, makes us stronger . You are testament to this. I lost my 20 year old Son Nathan, to a most awful cancer, and I’m a Nurse, so I know what it takes to pick yourself up, go through the motions of life and paint on a smile until it becomes easier. Lots of love and hugs sent your way dear life warrior xxxx
